Pondering the alternatives of what to buy when visiting Latvia, one of the most interesting choices could be glassware products made by local artists. Glass art has a rich tradition in Latvia already since the middle ages, when stained glass windows were decorated in Latvia's many beautiful gothic churches. In time, the creation of interior objects made of glass became popular.

Latvian horse

The Latvian Horse (Latvian:Latvijas šķirne, "Latvian breed") is a purpose-bred warmbloodhorse breed from Latvia. Breeding began in Latvia in the early twentieth century, and a herd book was established in 1927. The breed was officially recognised in 1952. There are two types, sometimes called the Latvian Harness Horse and the Latvian Riding Horse. The harness type was predominant until about 1960, when demand for sport horses increased and more of the saddle type were bred.

History

The origins of the Latvian breed go back to 1856, when western European horses were cross-bred with native Latvian horses. In 1890 planned breeding was begun from ten different breeds, principally Hanoverian and Oldenburger, with some Holsteiner influence. More than 100 Oldenburgers (65 stallions and 42 mares) were imported from Germany and the Netherlands between 1920 and 1941, and these were the basis of the breed, which was officially recognised in 1952. From about 1960 or 1970, Hanoverian, Arab and some Thoroughbred blood was used to create a lighter sport horse type, the Latvian Riding Horse.

Latvian language

Latvian (latviešu valoda[latviɛʃu valɔda]) is the official state language of Latvia. It was previously known in English as Lettish which remains the standard today in various forms in most other Germanic languages. There are about 1.3 million native Latvian speakers in Latvia and 100,000 abroad. Altogether, 2 million, or 80% of the population of Latvia, speak Latvian. Of those, 1.16 million or 56% use it as their primary language at home. The use of the Latvian language in various areas of social life in Latvia is increasing.

Latvian is a Baltic language and is most closely related to Lithuanian. In addition there is some disagreement whether Latgalian and New Curonian, which are mutually intelligible with Latvian, should be considered varieties or separate languages.

Classification

Latvian belongs to the Baltic branch of the Indo-European language family. It is one of two living Baltic languages with an official status (the other being Lithuanian). The Latvian and Lithuanian languages have retained many features of the nominal morphology of the proto-language, though in matters of phonology and verbal morphology they show many innovations, with Latvian being considerably more innovative than Lithuanian.

follow Marc Ways:
https://www.instagram.com/marcways/
https://www.facebook.com/marcwaysmusic/
Marc Ways is a recording hip-hop artist from Latvia. He made his debut in fall 2016 with the project “All That I Am”, followed it up with a short 4-track ep “EasyPlay Ep” in fall of 2017, and the latest release is a 7-track album “Hot Sauce” released in December 30th 2018. He describes his sound as r&b influenced, melody driven hooks, with hard verses and clever flow switches. Although he is Latvian, his sound is more western influenced as a result of growing up on artists such as Kanye West and Lil Wayne. Being as versatile as he is, there is a chance that this new project could reach new audiences, despite being only 7 songs, you can hear variety of interesting things.
Beats on “Hot Sauce” are produced by variety of producers, but everything is recorded, mixed and mastered by an experienced Latvian artist Punkts Uz I. Main topics Marc is talking about on this project are his reflection on things he sees everyday around, involving pretending to be something they’re not, taking themselves too seriously, trying too hard to be accepted, and so on. Underlying theme is this aggresive-bravado-in your face-fuck you- type attitude with a lot of emotion and lot of references to hot sauce (being Marc Ways’ nickname) but at the same time still keeping it lyrically complex and interesting.
